ACTIV Update: Making Major Strides in COVID-19 Therapeutic Development

NIH Director's Blog: Drug Development

These include drugs that you may have heard about on the news: remdesivir (an antiviral), dexamethasone (a steroid), and monoclonal antibodies from the companies Eli Lilly and Regeneron. They are called immune modulators because they help to minimize the effects of an overactive immune response in some COVID-19 patients.
